Marrying an old-fashioned scientific researcher

Qi Bai was reluctant to give Jiang Jianzhi his mobile phone. He thought that talking to Qi Ruishan would pollute Professor Jiang's ears.

Professor Jiang's attitude was rare and tough, and after taking the mobile phone, he refused to let Qi Bai listen, so he got up and went to the side.

Two minutes later, Jiang Jianzhi came back, and when he returned the phone to Qi Bai, the call was over.

It's not worth getting angry with a scum like Qi Ruishan, Qi Bai withdrew from the initial emotion, drank the ice-cold fruit juice until only the bottom of the glass was left.

Jiang Jianzhi sat down beside him and said that there might be something wrong with Qi Ruishan's company management.

Qi Ruishan is an architectural designer. Since he joined the industry, he has been a designer assistant and left the company to work alone two years ago. Everyone who goes out has to call him Mr. Qi.

Qi Bai snorted and said, "He is going bankrupt, I must find a place where fireworks can be set off to celebrate."

When Qi Ruishan suddenly had money to buy another villa, Qi Bai suspected that the other party's money came from wrong sources——

How come you have money to buy a villa after just paying off the last mortgage?

But Qi Bai is not interested in the affairs of Qi Ruishan's family, Qi Ruishan thinks his life is too long to die, he likes to hear it.

Jiang Jianzhi observed his expression, and suddenly said, "Aren't you angry with me?"

Qi Bai cast a glance at him. Compared with Qi Ruishan, Jiang Jianzhi's behavior of being so busy separating himself from him just now is not enough to make people angry.

The sentence about arguing with my fiancé was just a casual remark in my heart.

And now knowing that Qi Ruishan's funds are in trouble, he feels much more at ease.

Seeing that Qi Baihun didn't care and expressed that he was not angry, Jiang Jianzhi was relieved that he was undetectable.

***

I don't know what Jiang Jianzhi said to Qi Ruishan at the time, but Qi Ruishan never approached Qi Bai again. Qi Bai never paid attention to the affairs of the Qi family in Xiacheng, but once heard Chen Shaojiao mention that Qi Ruishan was borrowing money from relatives and friends everywhere. They are all borrowed from their house.

Upon hearing this, Qi Bai immediately bought a small cake and came back to celebrate.

Winter and summer vacations are always the busiest time for cram schools in training schools, and Qi Bai's studio also ushered in the busiest time of the year. Recently, he has no time to go back to Yuelan Mansion for dinner, and spends almost all day in the studio.

During the period, Erisc contacted Qi Bai once, and asked him to participate in a foreign art exhibition. Whether he won an award or not was the next thing, and getting acquainted in front of other people was the most important thing.

The gallery jointly opened by Erisc and his partner now has two paintings by Qi Bai.

Last year, Qi Bai won the Ailov Award, which made many people at home and abroad notice him as a young painter, but he has not produced much in the past year, which is inevitably disappointing.

Erisc and Professor Nian have the same idea, both think that Qi Bai guarding his small studio is a waste of his talent, and hope that he will have a better development.

Qi Bai didn't care about this, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the studio.

The cicadas are still singing in midsummer, and the sweet iced watermelon is accompanied by the heat, ushering in the 27th birthday of Professor Jiang.

Jiang's mother, Jiang's father, who was on a business trip, called in advance to congratulate him and asked Jiang Jianzhi how he planned to celebrate.

In the study room with the air conditioner turned on, Professor Jiang took off his glasses and said softly that he had no plans.

Mother Jiang sighed: "Xiaobai's birthday is not, and you have no plans."

"It's fine for the two of you to go out on a date and watch a movie."

Jiang Jianzhi's hand holding the pen paused, and the smoothly flowing nib left a slightly darker dot on the paper.

Jiang Jianzhi also saw Qi Bai's ID card when he went to Chengxi Town to open a house last time, so he knew that Qi Bai's birthday was next to his, and Qi Bai was nine days later than him.

To be exact, it was three years and nine days.

On the [-]th floor, Qi Bai was also discussing the same topic with Jiang Yi.

Qi Bai bit the ice lolly that was steaming cold, with little interest:

"Another year older, is this something to celebrate?"

Ever since Bai Sang and Qi Ruishan divorced, Qi Bai hadn't celebrated his birthday very much. It wasn't that something happened on his birthday that made him feel psychologically disturbed, it was simply that he didn't like it.

At the beginning, I didn't want to see Qi Ruishan and Bo Yingying's hypocrisy, but after that, I was not interested.

Anyway, live or not, life is still the same.

Jiang Yi gave a 'bah': "You are only in your twenties, how old are you?"

Qi Bai was paralyzed on the sofa: "Anyway, it has the same meaning."

On the issue of birthdays, it is rare for Qi Bai and Jiang Jianzhi to have the same views, believing that there is no need for a so-called sense of ritual.

Jiang Yi had nothing to do with him: "Anyway, let's have a meal together? Have a good meal."

Qi Bai just laughed: "What age is it, do you have to wait for your birthday if you want to have a good meal?"

Jiang Yi: "..."

OK.

Before Mr. Jiang was choked to death by himself, Qi Bai thoughtfully changed the subject:

"I'll take over the room next month."

Jiang Yi was surprised: "Didn't your community say that it will be delivered by the end of this year?"

Qi Bai: "The developer's progress is fast, a few months ahead of schedule."

After taking over the house, it will be decorated with ventilation, and Qi Bai will be able to live in his own house by March next year at the latest.

Although the location of the residential area that Qi Bai bought is not biased, it is still some distance away from Yuelan Mansion.

He decided to break up with the people downstairs before moving.

Nanfeng City is not small. Jiang Yi and Yu Qinchuan are the only people in his social circle that overlap with Jiang Jianzhi. The working environment is different. As long as they don't deliberately make an appointment, the chance of the two meeting each other is pitifully small.

After finishing the video call, Qi Bai turned over and took out the birthday present he had prepared for Jiang Jianzhi from the drawer under the coffee table.

Qi Bai himself doesn't have a birthday, but Jiang Jianzhi has helped him a lot this year, no matter how he looks at it, he has to show it.

Opening the rectangular black gift box, there was a dark gray pen lying quietly inside. It was the gift that Qi Bai carefully selected and compared, and felt to be the most suitable for Professor Jiang's temperament.

It is now nine o'clock in the evening, and three hours later, when the hour hand moves past twelve o'clock, it will be Jiang Jianzhi's 27th birthday.

Professor Jiang has been very busy recently, and Qi Bai was not sure when he would be able to see someone tomorrow, so after a little thought, he sent a message to Jiang Jianzhi.

[Qi Baishi divides white]: Professor Jiang, are you asleep?

[Jiang surnamed old-fashioned]: No.

After learning that he had a crush on Jiang Jianzhi, Qi Bai changed Jiang Jianzhi's notes when he had nothing to do. For a while, the name was "Jiang Jianzhi", for a while it was "Professor Jiang", and in recent days it became "Jiang's old man". old-fashioned'.

Professor Jiang cherishes words like gold, and Qi Bai is not procrastinating. He got up from the sofa and walked downstairs with his things.

Before going out, Qi Bai took a few steps back, looked at the full-length mirror at the entrance, pulled his messy hair, and straightened his clothes.

As if he knew that Qi Bai was coming, just as Qi Bai raised his hand to ring the doorbell, the door was opened from the inside.

Qi Bai reacted quickly, the moment he opened the door, he immediately hid the things behind his back.

Enter the door, change your shoes, and straighten your original shoes——

That's right, after so long, Qi Bai finally knew how to put the replaced shoes neatly next to Professor Jiang's shoes.

congratulations.

Jiang Jianzhi looked down at his concealed and awkward movements, and asked aloud:

"What did you bring?"

"Guess?" Qi Bai straightened up, with a flash of slyness in his eyes: "There is a prize for guessing right."

Jiang Jianzhi's expression moved slightly: "Give me the pen?"

Qi Bai: "???"

Qi Bai: "..."

At this moment, Qi Bai also suspected that what Professor Jiang was wearing on his straight nose was not short-sighted glasses, but a perspective mirror.

Qi Bai looked at Jiang Jianzhi with a blank face, and guessed right, not only did he not feel surprised, but he also had no sense of accomplishment...

Seeing that Qi Bai's expression was wrong, Jiang Jianzhi paused, coughed lightly and changed his words: "Necklace?"

Qi Bai maintained his current expression, which was numb.

Sometimes, too high an IQ can be a disappointment!

"Sorry." Seeing Qi Bai's motionless appearance, Jiang Jianzhi smiled very lightly:

"Actually, I saw it when I opened the door. There was a pen written on the box."

Qi Bai: "...?"

Qi Bai took out the things hidden behind, looked carefully, and saw that there was indeed a 'pen' written on the bottom of the high-quality gift box.

The horse stumbled, unexpectedly Jiang Jianzhi had such good eyesight wearing glasses, Qi Bai stuffed something into his arms:

"Cheating in the exam, Professor Jiang, your reward is gone."

The cheating Professor Jiang let Qi Bai into the room and asked him if he could open it now.

Qi Bai waved his hand casually: "This birthday present for you, of course you can open it whenever you want."

Qi Bai sat down on the sofa, but kept an eye on Jiang Jianzhi's reaction.

Not counting the previous painting, this is the first time Qi Bai gave a gift to someone he likes.

Or a birthday present.

He had a calm face, but he was still a little worried that Jiang Jianzhi would not like it.

To be on the safe side, Qi Bai bought the brand that Jiang Jianzhi is currently using. Professor Jiang has carried out the minimalist and luxurious style to the end, and a pen is worth half a year's living expenses.

The basic model of this brand is cheap, but Qi Bai felt that the basic model was not suitable for Professor Jiang, so he never considered it from the beginning to the end.

The one Qi Bai bought came in a variety of colors. He picked it out and chose the most low-key and calm dark gray, especially for Professor Jiang.

Jiang Jianzhi took out the pen from the velvet gift box, looked at it, finally pursed his lips, and walked to the study without saying a word.

Looking at his back, Qi Bai who was still waiting for his feedback: "...?"

What do you mean?

Is this like or dislike?

Qi Bai couldn't resist getting up, followed Jiang Jianzhi into the study room, and saw that the other party had put the pen and case into the drawer.

Doesn't look like it's going to be used.

Qi Bai frowned subconsciously, pretending to be calm:

"If you don't like it, you can return it."

Jiang Jianzhi shook his head: "No, I like it."

Qi Bai was a little unhappy, thinking he liked your attitude?Before he could ask, out of the corner of his eye, he saw something familiar——

He saw Jiang Jianzhi's post-it note on the computer stand.

After Qi Bai thought about it for a while, he remembered that this was a 'warm reminder' he drew casually when he was redecorating the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, he could still see this thing, Qi Bai's attention was instantly diverted, and he looked at Jiang Jianzhi with some surprise:

"Do you still have this thing?"

Qi Bai instinctively wanted to tear it off to take a look, but in the end he pulled it lightly, but it didn't move.

Qi Bai: "?"

this stickiness...

Qi Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, and just about to use force, Jiang Jianzhi raised his hand to stop him: "I used glue to stick it."

Pulling hard will only damage the paper.

Qi Bai was startled when he heard the words: "Glue?"

Professor Jiang nodded and looked at him: "Superglue."

Qi Bai was stunned, and looked down at the small post-it note. The naive kitten on it actually didn't match Professor Jiang's dull and serious study style at all, but...

Not only did this person keep things that should have been thrown into the trash can, but they were also pasted in such a conspicuous place in the study, and glued with strong glue to prevent them from falling.

It's so precious, it's hard not to miss it.

Qi Bai's gaze slowly moved up from the post-it note, and finally fell on Jiang Jianzhi's face that could accommodate both men, women, and children. His heart twitched suddenly, and an idea popped into his mind——

Professor Jiang, it seems like maybe... not so straight?

The author has something to say:

Xiaobai: Look what I found!

Professor Jiang: ...
